It Started With Hello

Chap. 43

"Now kick your legs...good..good your doin great" Blake said with a grin as he floated them deeper into the water her hands stay clinched on his shoulders kicking her legs. They have been floating around in the middle of the lake a few minutes now and she has already gotten the hang of it. She felt like it was going ok honestly she probably could try without holding onto him now but she also didn't wanna let him go just yet "You wanna try on your own now?" licking her lips she nods her head slowly letting go of his shoulder. He slowly starting to remove his hands making her sink into the water slightly she gasps quickly grabbing back onto his shoulders while kicking her feet looking into the water. He rubs his hands up and down her arms "Don't worry I'll be right here the whole time" she grins shyly before letting out a breath finally fully letting go again closing her eyes. She remembers everything he has taught her tonight she kicked her legs moving her arms to stay afloat. When she reopened her eyes she saw she wasn't sinking and Blake was smiling at her a few feet away "Look at you go" she grins widely swimming circles around him "I'm doing it Blake!" she repeats after him making him laugh. She dunks her head underneath the water a few minutes making him freak out smile fading from lips. His eyes scan across the water looking for her "Emma!?" he yells she suddenly pops up right in front of him wrapping her wet arms around his shoulder. He lets out a breath of relief "Don't fucking do that!" she just laughs carefree while he pushing her wet hair off her face "Idiot" he whispers with a grin letting his hands fall back to her waist. He pulls away splashing water at her making her gasp before she splashes him back he picks her up out of the water. She wraps her legs around his waist as he was twirling them around. As he finally stops spinning she looks down him pushing his wet dark hair off his forehead "Hey..." he whispers as she moves her hands to his smooth cheeks "Hmm?" she hums as their eyes meet. He look away a moment before meeting her eyes again "You still think about your first kiss with that guy?" she shakes her head she hasn't thought about it since their kiss which she was very happy about "I wanted our kiss to replace that one he didn't deserve your first kiss" he whispered while tightening his hand on her waist. His confession made a dumb smile on her lips she didn't want to prepare him to bring up kiss topic she's happy he decided to talk about it on his own "It did replace it" she admitted he grins tilting his head to the side "I honestly want to give it another try but this time just for myself not out of dumb jealousy" her eyes slightly widen feeling her cheeks heat up. Oh my god he literally just admitted he was jealous of Jason kissing her first and she had know clue what to say like a dummy she whispers "Y..you do?..like right now?" he nods slowly lowering her back into the water so they where more leveled. With one hand still holding her waist he brings the other up holding her cheek he smiles watching shocked look on her face "Yah like right now..." he whispers while tilting her head up leaning closer their lips slowly meet. Once again she feels those fireworks going off in her chest her heart was pounding so loudly she was scared he could hear it. He didn't taste like Italian food this time but crisp mint and it was addictive. This was technology only her three kiss but it was probably the best one she hummed against his mouth pulling softly on the hair at the back of his neck he pulls her body closer against his hard smooth chest. He licks over her lips she didn't understand it was like he was asking her to open her mouth so, she did. When she opens her mouth his tongue slides into her mouth making her moan softly suddenly forgetting how to swim. She stopped swimming in his arms he swam them over to the edge of the lake sitting her on the grass while continuing to swim between her legs. He pulls his lips away kissing down the wet side of her neck she leans back against the grass with one of her hands while the other stays on the back of his head playing with his wet hair. He could feel her pulse racing underneath his lips "I really like you Em" he says somewhat breathlessly she laughs softly at his loss of words while he stops kissing hiding his face in neck rubbing his big hands up and down her naked legs. Her body was on fire feeling his gentle breathes against her neck as her fingers run through his soft hair trying to calm down her own nerves. She never experienced anything like this before this was something that seemed like it was straight out of a kdrama or romance book. No guy ever showed her the time of day before or kissed her so sweetly and held her this closely seeming to not want anything in the world to hurt her. With him everything was new life has been so crazy since Blake came around and honestly she wouldn't change it for anything. She had no clue what they were or where they were headed but she knew there was something between them "I really like you to Lake" she wasn't about to force him to make them official or anything but if he asked her to be his girlfriend right now she definitely wouldn't complain.

(Mia note: Honestly they are the cutest😭)
